Trial Information
A Meta Analysis of Malignancy Serious Adverse Events in the ADOPT, 49653/048, and RECORD, 49653/231, Studies, Comparing Metformin With Rosiglitazone.
The objective of this meta-analysis is to compare the incidence of malignancy (excluding
non-melanomatous skin cancers) reported as serious adverse events in the ADOPT and RECORD
studies between subjects randomly allocated to treatment with metformin with those allocated
to rosiglitazone.
Inclusion Criteria
Subjects from ADOPT that are included in this meta-analysis (those in the metformin or
rosiglitazone groups) had the dose of their study medication increased to a maximum of 2g
(metformin) or 8mg (rosiglitazone) if their fasting plasma glucose was greater than
140mg/dl.
Subjects from RECORD that are included in this meta-analsyis entered the RECORD study
taking one of three sulfonylureas (glibenclamide, gliclazide or glimepiride). They were
randomly allocated to metformin or rosiglitazone in a 1:1 ration to use as add-on
treatment to the background of sulfonylurea. These subjects had the dose of their study
medication increased to a maximum of 2.55g (metformin) or 8mg (rosiglitazone) if their
HbA1c was greater than 7.0%.
